Kudos to our 2022 Teaching the Environment cohort. Participants finished off the week with another productive day, earning certificates (and tacos) to acknowledge the deep, thoughtful work that went into this week.
Huge thanks to @slccurb, @kimtferguson and @weact4ej for today’s workshops, and a round of applause for all of our partner organizations who made this week happen: @nysdec @groundwork_hv @waterfarmforest and @nycdep

The Child Development Institute, part of the Children, Childhood and Education Collaborative, was established in 1987 to develop programs for early childhood and elementary school teachers, administrators, child development professionals, parents and the community at large.
Through its work, the Child Development Institute provides a progressive perspective on child development and education. In this perspective, the child is viewed as an individual in the social context, actively engaged in constructing knowledge through interactions with other people and the physical environment. We believe that the child's educational experience should encompass social, emotional, and imaginative aspects of life in concert with intellectual development. Further, we are concerned that schools and other institutions be developed as communities that attend to the interests and needs of children from diverse backgrounds.
The activities of the Child Development Institute, while developed primarily as outreach programs, are part of Sarah Lawrence’s Children, Childhood and Education Collaborative and as such, enhance the educational experience of undergraduate and graduate students on campus. A Professional Advisory Board provides consultation and support for various projects

It’s hot out! 🥵 and even though we know that climate ≠ weather, we all had climate change on our minds today at Teaching the Environment.
We explored ideas about change, both along the river and to the climate, learned how fascinating eels are, and painted Hudson River School-inspired watercolors in the shade.

Teaching the Environment participants visited the @groundwork_hv Science Barge this afternoon. Check out the incredible views of the Palisades. The science barge even has an aquaponic greenhouse. How cool is that?

Teaching the Environment 2022 is off to a great start with river seining, mapping the Hudson River Watershed, and learning about our drinking water and how to mediate water pollution.
What will the rest of the week have in store? Check back here to see more hands on learning in action.
Thanks to @slccurb staff, @nysdec and @waterfarmforest for the incredible learning opportunities

Above all else, Sara was a teacher
“Stories are a way of preserving family history, but more importantly, they create a sense of continuity and resilience, and – this is the thing we often forget – they build a framework to understand painful experiences and celebrate joyful ones.”
